Sam Small Rakes Its Advocates
Fore and Aft.

Fore and Att.
Sam Small preached a characteristic
sermon yesterday morning on Con
science" at the Red Rock camp meet
ing. He worked in roast on re-
porter as usual, and touched up the
higll-licenSe brethren and sisters in
vigorous style.
Il thank God that feel happy and at
peace with all the world this morning."
said he. joy and peace have for hours
surrounded me as refreshing atmoS-
phere. | found when l got down on
my knees last night couldn't say God
forgive me- until | had forgiven every
person for everything done or imagined
done to me. | forgive and did fully and
freely forgive that reporter who wTote
in yesterdays paper: The evangelist
begins his WORK by using slang and
abusing everybody If he can stand it
| can"
He then wound his arms around one
of the pillars supporting the roof
of the pavilion and, pointing his
long, boIy finger at a prom
ment advocate OF high license, began
to pour hot shot into the measure and
its advocates.
Are you wiling to go before God
with conscience permitting liquor to
be sold in Minnesota for license fee?"
said he. ~ man may sit i'll the front
seat. the beck seat, Or the amen corner,
but if his conscience is conserving to
the public conscience that permits
liquor to be sold for revenue, he is rs
bad as the man who sells the damnable
stuff. Some of yOu help to make up the
public conscience OF ST. Paul, where
open gambling denS are allowed to run
for money. and where
BASE BALL AND OTHER SPORTS,
as well as open saloons, can be found
any Sunday Ii you are, why don't you
stop it? 1t is either because the aggre-
gate conscience OF the people OF st.
Paul is deiilGd and low, or because it is
too cowardly to assert itself. Mime
sofa is an enlightened, civilized and
Christian state, and yet you allowed
yOur last legislature to block
and place on the statute books
the most damnable compromise with
the devil ever invented. The high Ii
cease law, permitting the traffic to go on
fCU money. Better would it be for the
state to be bankrupt and go back to a
territory than to flourish on such
money. 1t is i compromise on high
ground for big money. 1t SqueeZeS Off
a few poor devils and gives Il monopoly
Cd the liquor traffic 10 a few who can
weiI afford to pay the price. This is
the whole logic OF high license. You
aTe stopping drinking at q great rate,
aTn't you? | was talking to big headed
senator who helped to pass that law,
and he prided himself on how cutely
the--tempeyance forces had been di-
vidad. Set free as many cOnvictS from
Saltwater as you have senators and
representatives and give them immun-
ity for year and they could not do as
much damage as the saloon. Why,l had
rather Vo5e for a Saltwater convict for
the legislature than for a high license
minister. know whereof | speak, and
mas God give me power to arouse the
cOslSciences OF men OH this question"
IN THE EVENING.
Mr.. SmalPS teZt for the evening was
ISAIAH XII, 10. lin shat day there shall
be a root of Jesse, which stand for an
ensign of the public" An ensign is
the symbol of a nation and means all
that the nation means. The affection
entertained for cur grand old flag is
something wonderful. An illustration
OF this was shown when it was pro-
posed to return those rebel flags few
days ago. And just here let me say | do
nG believe the South wants those flags
returned. What was it that kept
tub legislators, who would barter with
the liquor traffic and the devil? How /
do pity that man who is better Repub-
llcan or Democrat than he is a Christian.
There are men who will give $50 to the
campaign fund this fall and wont give
$ in five years to the church, and these
same men will kick over paying 10 cents
at this gate to geti in.
